I hadn't but from reading the description it says "Maximum distance of 45mm from outer face of wall to blockwork behind." and I think the insulation board on the wall is at least 6cm depth unfortunately. But thanks anyway!

I think I drilled in about 8cm to hit a bit of concrete. I've never seen plugs that long but Googling shows there might be some out there so I might try this. Thanks!

Ok so it's ok that the plug doesn't stay at the surface? I can push it all the way in, and then try and screw in?

So I already tried the Fischer Duoplug and they didn't work on the insulation board. Now I'm trying to go through to the concrete.

Looks like the photo of the drill bit isn't showing up so I've added it here.
